Think the only time that I have something planned for is Fri night, but I'll check with the accomodation (me girlfriend) as to what times would work!

"they were very nice, and just like you. turned up when it was dark, picked the bits up, then fitted them on our drive, in the dark'

And it took us bloody ages! Chris had cut the pipe (probably on our instruction) the wrong side of the almost-hidden 'lump' (filter? one-way valve?) in the crankcase ventilation tube. However, we did a swap with the one from Nessy, and the job was done!
Nessy now has a silver car-cover over her, although she was pretty wet, so I get the feeling she's just rust quicker now! I'll pop back at some point on a dry day and leather off the water! Oh yeah...and she STINKS inside...and has wet seats...right Chris
My Mum was impressed with Chris' parcel-shelf build, but when he'd gone she said something like 'die ricer scum, die' - with regard to his 4 LED washer jets. Just kidding!
All in all, a fun afternoon. Pics...
Our cars outside my house...
Getting all arty with the photography...
Next door's gardener called in for about 10 seconds! Guess what he drives...
Nessy before...
Nessy after!
cheers

Yeah, well, they've been disconnected for quite a while now! I think James was impressed with the main beam though Thanks Nessy, for the new bit of pipe! Keep forgetting I need to look where I'm going though, not at the sexy econ meter! It glides!

I had a bad feeling the tarp might blow off....I did my best in the pitch darkness, but I had a niggling feeling it wouldn't stay. Do apologise to your mother!
Yes, the main-beam is indeed awesome...if only we could get the dipped beam to be just as powerful...!
cheers
James
